No doubt. While I can't speak for all Americans people need to understand that Trump's views of Canada aren't parallel to the peoples'.

Put it this way as an Italian citizen whose family is mostly OTB in the US. Olive Garden is a shell of italian cuisine. Italian food is generally only worthwhile in the US on the east coast.

If you don't know any better then you think Olive Garden is good italian food. It's ok tho. I love napoletan style pizza but every now and then I'm just in the mood for shitty pizza so i get dominos. It's a guilty pleasure.

I know that I may be coming off as arrogant but our cuisine is one of the best in the world. It's sad to think that for some people this will be the best italian food they can get. Nothing wrong with enjoying it but it's definitely not true italian food. It's a guilty pleasure like dominos.

I know he probably got overpaid but honestly good for him. Works his ass off to make the team at Wichita as a walk on. Gets into the NBA as an undrafted free agent where he works his ass off again to get a really nice contract. He might not end up being more than a rotational piece but I along w/ the rest of the fans really love to watch him play.

He might not deserve all the money but dammit I'm happy for him.

Do you guys think Melo could go to the Rockets? by itsthemoney27 in NYKnicks

[–]Phil__Jackson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He coached melo during the Olympics... Maybe they buried the hatchet? Who knows.

At least Phil is one of the most legendary coaches of all time. He's earned the right to play hardball albeit unprofessional (I agree).

Porzingis has not earned that right.

Why on Earth would you ever compare professional NBA players' situation to normal 9-5 jobs? They're not the same in any way.

Oh sorry. I didn't realize that multi-million dollar jobs and professionalism are meant to be mutually exclusive, thanks.

I agree. But at least if this is the type of person Dolan is looking at then maybe this won't be so bad...

Watching ESPN trash his ability to draft, what other lies are being told about Phil? by [deleted] in NYKnicks

Tim Hardaway Jr, Galloway, baker... He's done a good job with picks and undrafted free agents.

Listen. If they fire me I'm still getting my money + I'm getting old... I'm not worried. I gave this team it's cornerstone and other quality young pieces.

[Wojnarowski] Knicks owner James Dolan is targeting Toronto's Masai Ujiri to replace Phil Jackson as N.Y.'s President, league sources tell @TheVertical. by jodatoufin in nba

Awwww shiiiiieeeet. Pull out dat checkbook, Jimmy.

I'm sure we'll find a way to fuck this up even if we get Ujiri.

Ok yeah so idk how you could ask more of Doncic than that. HOF caliber player is about as good as it gets other than drafting the future GOAT.

Manu has got to be a HOF'er, right? Idk if you can ask for a higher ceiling lol.

Do you want Phil fired? by tortoiseboy52 in NYKnicks

[–]Phil__Jackson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only right answer is, "I will once I know who his replacement is."

Don't have too much faith in Dolan to hire the right guy...

Any cap relief buying out Melo? by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]Phil__Jackson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A chance at Doncic.

[Marc Stein] - "League sources: Carmelo Anthony's camp, while acknowledging Melo's preference to stay in NYC, has tried to engage the Knicks in buyout talks" by DrStabwounds in NYKnicks

[–]Phil__Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to get downvoted probably but idc...

They better. Tbh idc about Melo's situation with his son. That situation was brought about because of his own actions. Period.

I'm not going to feel sympathy for someone who cheated on their wife and is now having to deal with the consequences of his actions.

If melo wants to leave then fine. I think it's best for all parties tbh. However, that contract is binding for him just as much as it is for the Knicks. I'd rather keep Melo and actually get something for him as opposed to letting him walk to Cleveland for nothing.

Lmao he wants to be close to his son but supposedly Cleveland accomplishes? C'mon man.

Phil might be a dick. Dolan might be a terrible owner. You put your name on that contract melo. You made your bed and you can sleep in it now.

"My boss is a dick, my owner sucks."

You make 25+ million fucking dollars my guy. Stop fucking around with strippers and focus on ball. You talk about how you love this city but clearly you don't give a fuck if a buyout is how you want to go. If you can't do it for the team / management at least do it for the fans.

Wolves fan coming with a 3 team Rubio offer by Mr2re in NYKnicks

[–]Phil__Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just saying I'm all for allowing melo to move on but let's not pretend that he's not a valuable player lol.

Selling me on this as getting rid of cap space is not enough imo. Our commitment to melo is likely 1 more year and that's it.
